Burl Ives – The Riddle Song lyrics
I gave my love a cherry
That had no stone
I gave my love a chicken
That had
No bone
I told my love a story
That had no end
I gave my love a baby With no crying

How can there be a cherry
That has no stone?
And
How can there be a chicken
That has no bone?
And how can there be a story
That
Has no end?
And how can there be a baby
With no crying?

A cherry when
It's blooming
It has no stone
A chicken when in the shell
It has no bone The story of how I love you
It has no end
A baby when it's sleeping
It's
Not crying
